exe Sasa hPa Johnson Is the Least Worthy of All the Champions that Ever Held a Titie. Gozsridt. 1952. by The Press Publishing Ce, (The New York World) T is not hard to guess what Jack To sotasens finish will be, To-day Johnson is in the most trouble of hin iif, with the F Government, out in Chicago, Yeater- day he came near being mobbed, escap- ng only by running through a bullding and getting away in a taxicab. The Government is investigating Johnson's White Bileged connection with the Blave" traffic In Chicago. He is accused of abducting a white girl. Tt Is unfortunate that Jack Johneon Was ever a boxer, for his actions bring Alscredit upon the sport that he is sup: esed to represent. Boxing has been{ @ Bide Hsue in Johnson's life, especially since he made a fortune in the ring. He is the least worthy of the champions that ever held a title. And he in entirely unlike all other great| boxers now before the public. The champions of the other classes are decent men, sportsmaniike in thoir actions and clean-living, reputable, Johnson is everything else. For months he has been running his “Cafe de Champion" in Chicago, @ place that would not be tolefated in New York @r any other Eastern or far Western city. It ts likely that he will not be Permitted to continue his favorito eourse of action, even in Chicago. Johneon bas signed for @ series of Douts in Australia, one with Sam Lang- ferd, one with Sam MoVey. It would ‘de the Dest thing in the world for sport 4f Johneon would go to Australia and ve eo thoroughly whipped that he’ never be mentioned again in connection with the game he has disgraced. And if he is, all those who take any interest fm boxing hope that he'll stay in Aus- tralia instead of coming back to the ‘United States again. I fear, however, that even if Johnson goes to Australia there's little hope that the Australian Government will allow him to make his heme in that country. On a former trip he was compelled, I am informed, to put up @ bond to guarantee that he would leave within @ certain number of months, will never box again, “When a novice like McCarty can whip me in two rounds, I'm satisfed that my fighting days are over," Kaufman, “1 am all in as a boxer, and I don't in- A L KAUFMAN announces that he tend to go along taking beatings for the few dollars I could pick up in that way.

Palzer and McCarty or Palser and Stewart would make a great card for amy club. IM STEWART, by the way, ts up against a hard one to-night at the Garden in Gunboat Smith, The man came here from Califor- 1 Western reputation, one in the East, He boxed a few small bouts, and did so well that he was soon mussing things with the near-cham- pions. A few weeks ago he put Jim Bavage out of the running—for good. Gunboat is a wiry, lean, tough heavy- weight. He {s not afraid of anything that walks, Endowed with some clever- ness, he walks in and hunts for an opening, paying little attention to the punches that come his way. And when he finds a mark to hit at he fete his gwlove go With the drive of a rock- crusher. Gumboat fought Stewart once before, when he was new to the East. pstaouss outpointed and outpunched, he red big Jim once or twice and fet him know that he was in a fight.
